Description
The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the largest memorial in the United States dedicated to honoring all branches of military veterans and service personnel.
Built on land used as Army mustering grounds during the Civil War, the Grand Army of the Republic initially conceived the idea of this Beaux-Arts style building in 1890 as a way for Pittsburgh to honor the shrinking ranks of Civil War veterans.
The Hall, dedicated in 1910, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a US Historic District, and a Pittsburgh Landmark.
